[ISSUE #8354] Make prometheus client optional in nacos-client SDK

[EvanYao826]

What does this PR do?

Fixes #8354: Make the nacos-client SDK lighter by making the prometheus dependency optional.

Problem

nacos-client has a hard dependency on io.prometheus:simpleclient. Users who don't need metrics monitoring still pull in this dependency, which adds to the SDK footprint and can cause version conflicts.

Solution

1. Mark io.prometheus:simpleclient as <optional>true</optional> in client/pom.xml
2. Refactor MetricsMonitor to detect prometheus availability at runtime via Class.forName(). When prometheus is not on the classpath, all monitoring operations become no-ops.
3. Extract prometheus API calls into PrometheusMetricsHelper (only loaded when prometheus is available)
4. Replace direct Histogram.Child usage in MetricsHttpAgent with a MetricsTimer interface
5. Update all callers (ClientWorker, ServiceInfoHolder, NamingGrpcClientProxy) to use the new simplified API

Changes

File	Change
client/pom.xml	Add <optional>true</optional> to prometheus dependency
MetricsMonitor.java	Rewrite with runtime prometheus detection and no-op fallback
PrometheusMetricsHelper.java	New file: isolates all prometheus direct API calls
MetricsHttpAgent.java	Use MetricsTimer instead of direct Histogram.Child
ClientWorker.java	Use recordListenConfigCount()
ServiceInfoHolder.java	Use recordServiceInfoMapSize()
NamingGrpcClientProxy.java	Use recordNamingRequestFailed()

Backward Compatibility

• Users who already include prometheus in their classpath see no behavior change
• Users without prometheus get no-op monitoring instead of ClassNotFoundException

@EvanYao826 Please fix ci problem

[EvanYao826]

Fixed CI issues:

• Applied spotless formatting to MetricsMonitor, PrometheusMetricsHelper, and MetricsHttpAgent
• Updated copyright year from 2018 to 2026 in PrometheusMetricsHelper

[KomachiSion]

@EvanYao826 please run ci check and test locally first, which can help you fix ci problem.

[EvanYao826]

@KomachiSion Fixed! The CI failure was caused by test files still using the old MetricsMonitor API (getListenConfigCountMonitor/getServiceInfoMapSizeMonitor).

Changes:

• Updated ClientWorkerTest.java: replaced getListenConfigCountMonitor() references with recordListenConfigCount()
• Updated ServiceInfoHolderTest.java: replaced getServiceInfoMapSizeMonitor() references with recordServiceInfoMapSize()
• Removed unused Gauge imports

Please re-run CI.

[EvanYao826]

Hi @KomachiSion, I've fixed all CI issues in the latest push:

• Applied spotless formatting to MetricsMonitor, PrometheusMetricsHelper, and MetricsHttpAgent
• Updated test files (ClientWorkerTest.java) to use the new API
• Updated copyright headers

The CI checks are now all passing. Could you please take another look when you have time? Thank you!

@KomachiSion Hi, friendly ping — CI is now passing and CLA is signed. Could you take another look when you have time? Thanks!
